A Tues evening fundraising email from ’s campaign &signed in his name arrived w/the subj, "They were authorized to shoot me!" & said of the admin, "You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable ... Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger."

Trump also wrote on TruthSocial:

"Joe Biden's DOJ, in their Illegal & UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE."

Expected first:

The judge may issue his Sandoval rulings, determining what prior bad acts prosecutors can confront Trump with if he testifies.

A key question: "What's fair game?"

Raises various on pharmaceuticals. Sure, because they're really struggling.

#Trump's separate pres immunity motion hinges on this PRA argument. It's the "official act" underlying the immunity assertion. If #Cannon thinks it's a close call, that means a stay is likely coming.

When we eventually get to Trump's pres immunity assertion, even if Cannon denies it, she will stay the case unless she finds that the assertion is "frivolous." So today will be the early tell as to how she's leaning on this question.

Of course. He. Decided. He exhibits such sound reasoning and noble perspective, whereas when Joe Biden stepped into the light, Hur submitted his notes filled with lies defaming Biden. Over and over, the abuses the system.

Drumpf is a day late, a dollar short and wasting everyone's resources. are not just killing democracy but civil society. Scruples? Pfft, they have no shame. They. Have. No. Shame. Look where 40 years of the Right has led us.

Here we go again: Someone replies “we DESERVE” who we get in elections… Me: No, we didn’t DESERVE Trump. (There were dirty tricks, election interference, 7 million more for Hillary). He then felt he had to explain we don’t use pop vote in elections. No kidding. I asked that he “please don’t twist my words, my issue was “DESERVE”. His reply? “I’ll make a conscious effort to passively consume your content without further engagement moving fwd.”

I never sugg he shouldn’t opine. Debating here is 🤪

“Project 2025” Promises Revenge, Oppression, and Autocratic Rule

The Right’s plans for a return to power are driven by a radicalizing siege mentality and a desperate desire to restore dominance.
